Faxon FX7 .22 Creedmoor 16″ MDT Stock 5+1
About this product
What is the Faxon FX7 .22 Creedmoor 16" MDT Stock? It's a precision bolt-action rifle packaged specifically to navigate the 16-inch barrel length threshold while delivering long-range .22 Creedmoor performance without NFA paperwork. This configuration pairs CNC-manufactured action fundamentals from Faxon with a practical, suppressor-ready MDT chassis stock, establishing a baseline for shooters prioritizing mechanical accuracy over modularity. For the shooter building a dedicated, transportable precision rifle that doesn't require a tax stamp, the FX7 in this form factor is a calculated starting point.
What is the Faxon FX7 .22 Creedmoor used for?
The Faxon FX7 is a purpose-built small-caliber, long-range rifle for extended target shooting and varmint control, designed to maximize the ballistics of the .22 Creedmoor cartridge. Its 16-inch barrel keeps the overall package non-NFA regulated, while the spiral fluting and threaded muzzle (5/8-24 TPI) accommodate muzzle devices and suppressors for reduced recoil and signature management. The chassis-style MDT stock, with an integrated AR-style grip and adjustable LOP, stabilizes the platform for prone or bench-rest shooting up to distances of 800+ yards.
How does the Faxon FX7 compare to the Stevens 334?
The Faxon FX7 is a specialized precision-chassis rifle, while the Stevens 334 in .308 Win is a traditional hunting rifle built for rugged durability and cost-effective performance. The FX7 offers superior mechanical accuracy potential due to its heavier-profile, spiral-fluted barrel (1.2" diameter at the muzzle), TriggerTech trigger (adjustable 1.5-4 lbs pull), and rigid MDT chassis, making it better for disciplined, repeatable long-range shots. The Stevens 334 is better for hunters needing a reliable, lightweight field rifle under various conditions, as it weighs approximately 2.1 pounds less than the FX7's 9.8-pound unloaded weight.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
This FX7 configuration weighs 9.8 pounds unloaded and measures 37.5 inches in overall length with the stock fully collapsed. The 16-inch barrel has a 1:7 twist rate, and the rifle's width across the chassis is 2.6 inches at its widest point, making it manageable for transport in standard rifle cases designed for AR-platform rifles.
Who is this NOT for?
This rifle is not for the budget-conscious hunter seeking a lightweight, all-purpose field gun, nor is it for someone wanting maximum aftermarket modularity without a gunsmith. The MDT polymer chassis is not designed for extensive accessory rail additions, and the .22 Creedmoor cartridge, while ballistically impressive, commands a premium price per round—approximately $2.75 to $3.50 per factory load—compared to more common hunting calibers like .223 Remington or 6.5 Creedmoor.
What's in the box?
The rifle ships with one 5-round AICS-pattern MDT polymer magazine, a thread protector for the 5/8-24 threaded muzzle, and the necessary mounting hardware for the chassis system. Unlike some complete chassis rifles, it does not include a bipod, optic, or scope mounting rings—those are considered separate, shooter-selected components critical to achieving the platform's accuracy potential.
Is the Faxon FX7 worth it at $1,944.99?
At $1,944.99, the Faxon FX7 represents a solid entry point into the precision chassis rifle market, but it demands the shooter already owns or is prepared to invest in a quality optic and suppressor. You are paying for the integrated package: the Faxon barrel and action, the TriggerTech trigger, and the MDT stock, which individually would cost over $2,200 if sourced and assembled separately. For a shooter committed to the .22 Creedmoor cartridge and wanting a ready-to-mount, 16-inch SBR-alternative platform, it's a justified expenditure; for someone still deciding on caliber or application, a more versatile option like a Stevens 334 in .243 Win at nearly one-third the price may be a wiser first step.

Pros & cons
What works
- Ready-to-shoot 16-inch configuration avoids NFA SBR paperwork and wait times.
- TriggerTech primary trigger is user-adjustable from 1.5 to 4 pounds pull weight.
- MDT chassis provides a rigid, 37.5-inch overall platform optimized for bench or prone stability.
- 5/8-24 threaded muzzle is suppressor-ready for .30 cal cans without an adapter.
Trade-offs
- Heavy at 9.8 pounds unloaded—not suitable for extended off-hand or stalking hunting.
- Limited to 5+1 capacity with included magazine; higher-capacity AICS mags for .22 Creedmoor are rare and expensive.
- No optic, rings, or bipod included; adds minimum $400+ to the true out-the-door cost.
- Polymer MDT stock lacks the modular M-LOK or full-length accessory rails of higher-end chassis systems.

Frequently asked questions
- Is the barrel threaded for a suppressor?
- Yes, the 16-inch spiral-fluted barrel is threaded 5/8-24 TPI at the muzzle, which is the standard thread pitch for .30 caliber and many .22 caliber direct-thread suppressors. Always verify concentric alignment with an alignment rod before mounting any muzzle device or suppressor to ensure safe operation.
- Does it accept standard AICS magazines?
- It accepts AICS-pattern magazines. The rifle ships with one 5-round MDT polymer magazine, but most metal or polymer AICS magazines in .223 Remington/.308 Winchester footprint should function, though feeding reliability should be verified with your specific ammo. MDT, Accuracy International, and Magpul all produce compatible magazines.
- Can the stock length of pull be adjusted?
- Yes, the MDT polymer stock features an adjustable length-of-pull system. It uses a standardized AR-15 buffer tube, allowing for the installation of any commercial-spec collapsible or fixed stock, providing approximately 3.5 inches of adjustment range from fully collapsed to fully extended.
- What is the lead time for shipping?
- As an online-only item, current processing and shipping lead time is 3-5 business days from order verification to carrier pickup. All firearms ship via FedEx Priority Overnight to your selected FFL holder, with transit typically adding 1-2 additional business days.
